  22. Coordinating a Response In Resolving the issue,“How do regional actors collaborate in order to get the DPRK to cooperate in order to prevent a global pandemic?”, the following should be considered: • Prioritization of objectives • Coordination of resources • Division of cost/burden • Areas for Joint Response: (1) Detection & reporting (2) Assessment & decision-making (3) Resource mobilization (4) Implementation (5) Monitoring & evaluation • Common Priorities/Challenges • Interagency; public-private; civil-military; domestic-international coordination mechanisms • Availability of supplies: Possible nationalization of production facilities • Pandemic-related global economic crisis; social instability at home • Spread of biological terrorism DPRK-Specific Challenges • Uncertain DPRK leadership response: reluctance toward info-sharing, foreign intervention • DPRK non-membership in international organizations • DPRK domestic situation; possible insurgency against police & military enforcement of quarantine • Diplomatic/political tensions: DPRK-Japan, DPRK-U.S., inter-Korean • Inefficient distribution of external supplies to DPRK (and who distributes/how); Training of international & DPRK staff for common understanding; human & material resource constraints • Lack of legal & other national capacities to implement measures, standard operating procedures • Delay in DPRK-WHO reporting; Lack of rapid & transparent info-sharing
